Bab 213: 213. Old friends and new ones

The Illo's people retuned as well and just then realized that their houses have been attacked by a bunch of ants. Their clothes, food and everything they owned were full of black ants. No matter how much they fought they couldn't get rid of them so in the end they gave up and choose to live at the seaside. 

They had a river nearby, the sea, summer is coming and wearing filmy clothes is not really a bad thing.

Conrad didn't even know about their decision until much later. But the truth to be told he had absolutely no time to think of that. Or to care.

As soon they came back to the new decision they made was accepted by everyone. At first, they will make just huge stone walls and then the houses one by one. They dug around the stone plate deep burrow where they connected the underground river to it. Inside they added many river creatures so they had use for it.
